<p><strong>Meek Mill</strong>'s case just suffered another blow.&nbsp; He's not getting bail anytime soon.&nbsp; Deets inside...</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Rapper Meek Mill has been <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/11/06/judge-to-meek-mill-youre-going-back-to-jail-for-at-least-2-years"><strong>locked up </strong></a>for close to a month now after the judge says he violated probation one too many times.</p>
<p>His legal team has been working to get him out on bail while they appeal his 2-4 year prison sentence, but the judge just handed down her decision today.&nbsp; And it's definitely a no-go.</p>
<p>TMZ <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/12/04/meek-mill-bail-request-denied-prison/">reports</a>, based on the docs, that Judge Brinkley thinks the Philly rapper may not be telling the whole truth about his drug test or his address he gave his probation officer.&nbsp; She also called him a flght risk:</p>
<blockquote><p>Judge <strong>Genece Brinkley</strong> says Meek is a &quot;flight risk&quot; and &quot;a danger to the community.&quot; In denying him bail, she questioned the validity of his clean drug tests ... suggesting he might have used something called &quot;Fast Flush&quot; to cleanse his system.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brinkley also said Meek might have lied to police and his probation officer about his address. His legal team tells us that's BS, and says the address he's provided is the same one on his driver's license.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Welp.</p>
<p>Meek's attorneys have already popped back, claiming Judge Brinkley is continuing to treat their client unfairley:</p>
<blockquote><p>There's a big move to free Meek on grounds the judge was prejudiced ... <strong>biased against Meek</strong> when he would not change managers or give Judge Brinkley a shout-out in a Boyz II Men song.</p>
<p>One of Meek's attorneys, <strong>Joe Tacopina</strong>, says Brinkley's decision &quot;continues her long pattern of unfair treatment&quot; of Meek ... and vows they will appeal.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Meek's most recent probation violation that landed him in the slammer again is tied to his 2008 conviction on drugs and weapons charges.</p>
<p>Plenty of folks, fans and celebs alike, have been speaking out in defense of Meek claiming that the justice system is set up to trap men like Meek inside of it.&nbsp; <strong>Jay-Z</strong>, who heads up Meek's label Roc Nation, had tees made up for folks to floss at a recent 4:44 concert tour stop in Philly. <strong>Trey Songz, Yo Gotti, Ben Simmons</strong> and fans all joined in:</p>

<p><strong>Jimmy Henchman</strong> has been found guilty again in the murder-for-hire case after he was granted a new trail. Meanwhile, <strong>DMX</strong> reached a plea deal in his tax evasion case after bringing us a remix of &ldquo;Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.&rdquo; Get it all inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>James &ldquo;Jimmy Henchman&rdquo; Rosemond has been found guilty for a second time for hiring a hitman to kill a friend of rapper <strong>50 Cent</strong>.</p>
<p>The former entertainment manager, who once repped <strong>Mike Tyson</strong>, was found guilty on four counts of murder-for-hire for the death of <strong>Lowell &ldquo;Lodi Mack&rdquo; Fletcher </strong>just before 8pm EST on November 28th by a Manhattan federal jury. Each count carries a life sentence. He was previously sentenced to a life sentence plus 20 years. Not only that, he has been serving two life sentences on separate drug and gun convictions.</p>
<p>So yeah, even if the Czar Entertainment founder was not found guilty on he murder-for-hire charges, he still would have been stuck in jail.</p>
<p>The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/11/29/hip-hop-mogul-found-guilty-again-for-hiring-hitman-to-kill-50-cent/">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Still, he has long maintained that he never intended to kill Lowell &ldquo;Lodi Mack&rdquo; Fletcher in 2009, and that he only hired men to shoot at Fletcher for his role in roughing up Rosemond&rsquo;s 14-year-old son amid a long-running feud between 50 Cent&rsquo;s G-Unit and a rapper Rosemond represented.</p>
<p>Prosecutors said Rosemond ordered the hit on Fletcher weeks after he emerged from prison for his role in roughing up Rosemond&rsquo;s son as part of the ongoing feud between G-Unit and rapper Jayceon Terrell Taylor, also known as &ldquo;The Game.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The government presented numerous witnesses, including Brian &ldquo;Slim&rdquo; McCleod, who told the jury that he helped lure Fletcher to an isolated part of the Bronx to be killed.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s Rosemond&rsquo;s third trial over the hit. The first trial resulted in a hung jury and the second resulted in a conviction, but a new trial was ordered by a federal appeals court.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Jimmy&rsquo;s lawyer <strong>David Touger</strong> said they plan to appeal again. Might has well hang this one up bruh.</p>
<p>Speaking of legal woes...</p>

<p>DMX has struck a plea deal after he was slapped with <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/07/16/dmx-facetimes-swizz-beatz-after-he-posts-bail-on-tax-evasion-charges-x-gives"><strong>14 counts of tax evasion</strong></a> that could have landed him in jail for more than 40 years.</p>
<p>The NYC rapper and dad of 15 pleaded guilty to 1 count of tax evasion and now only faces up to 5 years in prison, this according to the US Attorney's Office Southern District NY.</p>
<p>X&rsquo;s lawyer <strong>Murray Richman</strong> <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/11/30/dmx-plea-deal-tax-evasion-case/">told</a> TMZ that X admitted to the court that he knowingly didn&rsquo;t pay taxes on royalities and other monies. He also said the &ldquo;Party Up&rdquo; rapper is concerned he will be thrown in jail, but decided to take the deal anyway. Likely a good idea. A potential 40 years is a loooooong time for the 46-year-old to spend behind bars.</p>
<p>DMZ will appear in court for sentencing on March 29th.</p>
<p>See X outside of the courthouse below:</p>

<p>Following a viral video of him rapping <a href="http://theybf.com/2012/12/03/beyonces-hbo-documentary-sneak-peek-dmx-sings-rudolph?page=1"><strong>&quot;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer&quot;</strong></a> in 2012, the gritty rapper decided to put out a full remixed version of the Christmas carol. We didn't know we needed this, but it's gold. Take a listen above.</p>

<p>We&rsquo;ve got updates in the defamation case between <strong>Amber Rose</strong> and Wiz Khalifa&rsquo;s mother <strong>Katie &quot;Peachie&quot; Wimbush-Polk</strong> and a divorce settlement update between <strong>Mel B</strong> and her estranged husband<strong> Stephan Belafonte</strong> inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Wiz Khalifa&rsquo;s mother Katie &quot;Peachie&quot; Wimbush-Polk TRIED it when she filed a defamation suit against her former daughter-in-law Amber Rose.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll recall, Peachie pulled the trigger on a <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/08/08/oh-sht-wiz-khalifa%E2%80%99s-mom-sues-amber-rose-for-defamation-%E2%80%93-unfit-parenting-accusations-cps"><strong>defamation lawsuit</strong></a> over a &ldquo;profanity laced&rdquo; phone call where Amber allegedly accused her -- to a third party -- of being a negligent parent.</p>
<p>That wasn&rsquo;t all. Amber allegedly blamed Peachie for the death of Wiz&rsquo;s sibling, Dorien. During a heated phone conversation, Amber said Peachie was now unfit to watch her little grandson <strong>Sebastian Thomaz</strong> (who Amber shares with Wiz). During their &ldquo;war,&rdquo; CPS was called on Amber, however, Peachie claims she &ldquo;made no such report at or around that time.&rdquo; She was gunning for $50,000 for court costs, interest, punitive and other damages.</p>
<p>Well, a Pennsylvania judge threw out the defamation lawsuit.</p>
<p>According <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/08/08/oh-sht-wiz-khalifa%E2%80%99s-mom-sues-amber-rose-for-defamation-%E2%80%93-unfit-parenting-accusations-cps">to</a> TMZ, the judge ruled, &quot;Mere insults, indignities, threats, annoyances, petty oppressions, and other trivialities&quot; do not give rise to a claim for emotional distress. Apparently, the their ongoing beef is just that, beef! No laws were broken.</p>
<p>Welp. There&rsquo;s that. Let's hope this keeps Wiz from having to keep them separated now that the case is closed.</p>

<p>Mel B and her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte have finally come to a <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/04/04/drama-filled-details-leak-about-mel-b%E2%80%99s-divorce-from-stephen-belafonte-%E2%80%93-sex-tapes"><strong>divorce</strong></a> settlement after a nasty, drawn out war in the media.</p>
<p>According to Life &amp; Style, a judge has ordered Stephen to NOT release any of the 56 <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/04/04/drama-filled-details-leak-about-mel-b%E2%80%99s-divorce-from-stephen-belafonte-%E2%80%93-sex-tapes"><strong>videos</strong></a> of &ldquo;sexual nature&rdquo; (aka sex tapes) that he has of his soon-to-be ex-wife.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;Stephen agreed to not release any of the videos he had shot of Mel, including sex tapes, and there are strict provisions in the agreement to enforce that,&rdquo; a source <a href="http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/mel-b-divorce-147268 ">told</a> the site. &ldquo;Stephen agreed to not release any of the videos he had shot of Mel, including sex tapes, and there are strict provisions in the agreement to enforce that.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As for the money&hellip;</p>
<p>Mel was <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/07/15/mel-b-ordered-to-pay-a-lot-of-money-in-spousal-support-to-estranged-husband-stephen"><strong>ordered</strong></a> to cough up $40,000 a month in temporary spousal support and another $140,000 in attorney fees. Here&rsquo;s how they&rsquo;ll permanently split their finances:</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;Mel and Stephen will split the proceeds from the sale of their [$8.9 million Hollywood Hills] mansion and he will receive $15,000 a month in support for five years,&rdquo; the source leaked. &ldquo;She also agreed to pay his legal fees, which were around $100,000.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You&rsquo;ll recall, Mel filed a <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/04/04/drama-filled-details-leak-about-mel-b%E2%80%99s-divorce-from-stephen-belafonte-%E2%80%93-sex-tapes"><strong>restraining order</strong></a> against him. But, he&rsquo;ll still get to spend time with their daughter Maddy. He&rsquo;s getting more time with her now.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;He had supervised visitation with Maddy during the divorce proceedings,&rdquo; the insider told the site. &ldquo;Now Stephen will be allowed to have overnight unsupervised visits with her, which is a huge win for him.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The source also claimed Mel isn&rsquo;t too happy with the terms of the divorce, but she went ahead and signed. Likely, to get the mess over and done with. We can't blame her.</p>
<p>Now, they both can move on with their lives&hellip;hopefully in peace.</p>
<p>Meanwhile...</p>

<p><strong>Russell Simmons </strong>is being accused of sexual assaulting a model when she was 17-years-old, forcing sex on her while his friend<strong> Brett Ratner </strong>watched.&nbsp; He's now giving his side.&nbsp; Get the full story inside...</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p><img src="http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo126/theybf/November%202017/RussellSimmonsBrettRatner2011FriarsClubZMLwHDe66kfl_zpsm9n7x5ee.jpg" alt=" photo RussellSimmonsBrettRatner2011FriarsClubZMLwHDe66kfl_zpsm9n7x5ee.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p>Well this is a doozy.&nbsp; A model named<strong> Keri Claussen Khalighi</strong> says music mogul Russell Simmons forced sex on her in 1991 when she was a 17-year-old up and coming model.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the Nebraska native, it all happened in New York after a night out with both Russell and Brett, a now powerful producer, who were known (and still are) for wining and dining models.</p>
<p>The L.A. Times <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-brett-ratner-russell-simmons-20171119-htmlstory.html">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><div>
<p>Ratner was an up-and-coming music video director and a protege of Simmons, the Def Jam Recordings mogul. They took Khalighi to dinner one night in 1991 at Mr. Chow in New York, and then back to Simmons&rsquo; apartment to show her a music video they&rsquo;d been working on.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Quickly, Simmons began making aggressive sexual advances, yanking off her clothes, Khalighi said.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;I looked over at Brett and said &lsquo;help me&rsquo; and I'll never forget the look on his face,&rdquo; she recalled. &ldquo;In that moment, the realization fell on me that they were in it together.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>She says after Russell aggressively forced himself on her, she eventually gave in to his oral sex demands.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;I fought it wildly,&rdquo; she said. He eventually relented and coerced her to perform oral sex, she alleged. &ldquo;I guess I just acquiesced.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<div>
<blockquote>
<p>Ratner, meanwhile, &ldquo;just sat there and watched,&rdquo; she said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It apparently didn't end there.&nbsp; Keri revealed she immediately went to take a shower, and says Russell entered her shower and briefly penetrated her.</p>
<div>
<blockquote>
<p>Feeling &ldquo;disgusting,&rdquo; Khalighi said she went to take a shower. Minutes later, she alleged, Simmons walked up behind her in the shower and briefly penetrated her without her consent. She said she jerked away, then he left. &ldquo;It hurt so much.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ad-holder right">
<div id="div-gpt-ad-2417745-1" data-google-query-id="CPDjzPCey9cCFYtENwodQjQOeQ">In his statement, Russell admits to sex occurring with Keri, but says it was consensual.</div>
</div>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;I know Keri Claussen Khalighi and remember the weekend in 1991 that she has referenced.&nbsp; Everything that happened between us 26 years ago was completely consensual and with Keri&rsquo;s full participation. Let me be crystal clear and very direct. Abusing women in any way shape or form violates the very core of my being. I have always spoken out regarding my life experiences, women&rsquo;s issues and the need to bring a faster and more decisive shift in the collective consciousness that will help bring about true women&rsquo;s equality.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Russell says Keri wined and dined with him and stayed at his apartment while he wsn't there, all after the incident. And he says he provided three witness accounts that were never used in the article.</p>

<p><strong>Meek Mill</strong> has just been granted a new bail hearing following<strong> Jay Z</strong>&rsquo;s new op-ed piece on the injustices plaguing the justice system. Get it all inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Following Meek Mill being <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/11/06/judge-to-meek-mill-youre-going-back-to-jail-for-at-least-2-years"><strong>sentenced to two to four years in prison</strong></a> for violating his probation, the judge presiding over his case has granted him a new bail hearing, 11 days after he was sentenced to prison. The date is set for November 27th.</p>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p>Judge <strong>Genece Brinkley</strong> is now being <a href="http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/11/17/meek-mill-granted-new-bail-hearing/">investigated</a> by the FBI. It&rsquo;s reported the judge is being investigated for her conduct in and out of the courtroom.</p>
<p><strong>Brian McMonagle</strong>, Meek&rsquo;s attorney, claims Judge Brinkley suggested Meek should record a version of Boyz II Men&rsquo;s song &ldquo;On Bended Knee&rdquo; and to mention her name in it. When the MMG rapper declined, it&rsquo;s reported she replied, <em>&ldquo;suit yourself.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>It's important to note though, Judge Brinkley, a graduate of Spelman College, has also reportedly offered numerous opportunities to Meek mill for him to turn over a new leaf.&nbsp; From community service opportunities (some of which he reportedly did not fully participate in) to several slaps on the wrist after probation violations.</p>

<p>Once news broke that the Philly rapper would be heading back to jail, several celebrities took to social media to express their outrage. One of them being Jay Z.</p>
<p>After reacting in a Facebook message, Hov was inspired to write a full op-ed piece in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/17/opinion/jay-z-meek-mill-probation.html">NY Times</a> talking about how the justice system stalks black people like Meek on a daily. He talked about how Meek was 19 when he was convicted on drug and gun possession charges and how he has spent his entire adult life on probation. Meek is 30-years-old and still paying for a crime he committed when he was a teenager, even after serving 8-months in jail for it.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s happening to Meek Mill is just one example of how our criminal justice system entraps and harasses hundreds of thousands of black people every day,&rdquo; Jay Z wrote. &ldquo;I saw this up close when I was growing up in Brooklyn during the 1970s and 1980s. Instead of a second chance, probation ends up being a land mine, with a random misstep bringing consequences greater than the crime. A person on probation can end up in jail over a technical violation like missing a curfew.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;In Pennsylvania, hundreds of thousands of people are on probation or parole. About half of the people in city jails in Philadelphia are there for probation or parole violations. We could literally shut down jails if we treated people on parole or probation more fairly.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;And that&rsquo;s what we need to fight for in Philadelphia and across the country. The racial-justice organization Color of Change is working with people in Philadelphia to pressure the courts there and make that vision a reality. Probation is a trap and we must fight for Meek and everyone else unjustly sent to prison.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The three suspended UCLA players held a press conference yesterday where they issued apologies for shoplifting and thanked Donald Trump for stepping in&hellip;after 45 begged for it. Go inside to see their press conference, and find out what <strong>LiAngelo Ball&rsquo;</strong>s dad <strong>LaVar Ball </strong>had to say about the shoplifting scandal inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>The three UCLA players who were detained in China for shoplifting are now speaking out about the scandal. In a press conference held yesterday (November 15th),<strong> LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill </strong>and <strong>Cody Riley</strong> admitted to stealing and issued sincere apologies for it.</p>
<p>Before the conference, it was announced that all three players have been suspended indefinitely, adding they will not travel or suit up for home games.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d like to start off by saying sorry for stealing from the stores in China. I didn&rsquo;t exercise my best judgment and I was wrong for that,&rdquo; LiAngelo said during the conference. He said he&rsquo;s a young man, but it doesn&rsquo;t excuse his &ldquo;stupid decision.&rdquo; He said this incident doesn&rsquo;t define who he is and his family raised him better than that.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Jalen and Cody also issued apologies to everyone they hurt for their &ldquo;stupid&rdquo; decisions. All three thanked Donald Trump for stepping in and helping to bring them home.</p>
<p>Check out the press conference below:</p>

<p>Oh, and 45 wanted EVERYONE to know he had something to do with bringing them home. He tweeted he wanted an apology from the UCLA basketball players for stepping in.

<p>Ugh.</p>
<p>LiAngelo's dad, LaVar Bell, has remained mum about his son's shoplifting scandal up until now:</p>

<p>Photogs caught up with the Big Baller Brand honcho after he touched down at LAX with his youngest son, <strong>LaMelo Ball</strong>. When asked if he had a message for Trump, LaVar plugged his Big Baller Brand. He then said he believes everything will be fine. When asked if he would meet with Trump to say Thank You, he responded, &quot;We're gonna run into each other. We'll be good.&quot;</p>
<p>Oh.&nbsp; Peep the clip above.</p>
<p>By the way, if Trump truly did this out of the goodness of his heart and US-China relations, hopefully he can help <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/former-football-player-jailed-china-without-ucla-lavar-donald-trump-bail-234329198.html">Detroit football player </a><strong>Wendell Brown </strong>who has been jailed in China for the last 14 months after defending himself from perceived attacks.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="rteleft">The jury has just reached a decision in the child rape case involving <strong>Jelani Maraj</strong>, after not being able to do so yesterday. His fate inside...</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Jurors at Nassau County Supreme Court in New York just convicted rapper <strong>Nicki Minaj</strong>&rsquo;s brother, 38-year-old Jelani Maraj, of sexually assaulting his former stepdaughter in his Baldwin home, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/nicki-minajs-brother-convicted-rape-case-preteen-girl-51047238">ABC NY News</a> reports.</p>
<p>The victim maintained that she was repeatedly raped over an 8 month period in 2015.&nbsp; The defense claimed the allegations were invented to extort $25 million from Nicki, as the family of the then 11 or 12-year-old victim - who was his wife's daughter - supposedly said that's the amount that is needed to make these allegations &quot;go away.&quot;&nbsp; </p>
<p>The jurors didn't see it for Jelani.&nbsp; The trial, which has been going on for a month, ended with Jelani being found guilty of predatory sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.&nbsp; The predatory sexual assault count is a class A felony and the most serious out of his several charges.</p>
<p>The guilty charges carry the potential for 25 years to life in prison.&nbsp; Jelani's lawyer says he will appeal.</p>

<p><strong>Tyrese</strong> has definitely come undone. In his latest video, he cries uncontrollably about being broke and begging his ex wife not to take his baby. And he's also posting lengthy statements going off on <strong>The Rock </strong>(again). Full story inside...</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>We thought we saw Tyrese go off the rails before, but this is a whole other level.</p>
<p>Black Ty is in the&nbsp; middle of a custody battle where he claims <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/09/14/tyrese-is-doing-the-most-including-an-interview-with-his-wife-after-accusations-fly-about"><strong>his ex-wife Norma Gibson is trying to alienate him</strong></a> and strip him of his parental rights when it comes to their 10-year-old daughter Shayla Gibson.&nbsp; Norma claims he severely abused Shayla and she wants a permanent restraining order against him.</p>
<p>Just a week or so after he<a href="http://theybf.com/2017/10/27/tyrese-checked-into-hospital-for-alleged-chest-pains-slid-out-to-celebrate-wifes-birthday"><strong> flew a banner over Shayla's school </strong></a>to proclaim his love for her, he's taken to social media to let it all hang out.</p>
<p>In a fit of uncontrollable crying, the actor says he's going broke trying to battle Norma in court, and he doesn't know where his rich friends are to help. We wonder where he got the money for that private jet last week then....</p>
<p>He says, <em>&quot;I've got all these millionaire friends an billionaire friends, and nobody's showing up for me. Why when I showed up for you?&quot;</em></p>
<p>He begs profusely for Norma to not take his baby away, and wants fathers who have been accused of not taking care of their child to stand up with him.&nbsp; Here's the video (which has now removed from his account):</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ty also posted a few lengthy statements targeting <strong>Lee Daniels</strong> and <strong>The Rock</strong>.&nbsp; Some type of way, he weaved in <strong>Martin Luther King, Jr. </strong>as well.&nbsp; He says The Rock and others don't care about the well being of his daughter since <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/09/12/hurt-bae-tyrese-wrote-a-whole-dissertation-demanding-the-rock-to-not-do-a-hobbs-spinoff"><strong>they're taking side deals </strong></a>without him being involved.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He threatened to leave the <em>Fast</em> franchise if The Rock's character, <strong>Hobbs</strong>, returns.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s reported the little boy sat on the stand inside Nassau County Supreme Court today wearing a black tuxedo while holding a yellow star-shaped toy as he gave his testimony. In court documents, it was revealed the little boy had walked in on Jelani raping his sister. He told jurors he was threatened to keep his mouth shut about the incidents.</p>

<blockquote><p>[The boy] detailed what he saw in a basement bedroom in 2015 &mdash; as his family members quietly wept in the gallery.</p>
<p>&ldquo;What happened was I was looking for [her],&rdquo; the boy said, referring to his then-11-year-old sister, who has accused Maraj, their stepdad, of repeatedly raping her. &ldquo;My pencil broke and I didn&rsquo;t have any others.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The boy, who was 8 at the time, said his sister&rsquo;s pants were &ldquo;around her ankles.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I saw his underwear close to his knees,&rdquo; he testified about Maraj.</p>
<p>Asked by prosecutors what happened next, he quietly said, &ldquo;I thought it wasn&rsquo;t right. It looked weird to me, so I ran upstairs.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Maraj, the boy testified, later found him and slapped him in the face &ldquo;about 10 times.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;He asked me if I had seen anything. I said, &lsquo;Yes,&rsquo; &rdquo; the boy said. &ldquo;He slapped me on the cheek.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The young boy went on to say Jelani threatened the boy by threatening to kill his mother (Jelani&rsquo;s wife) <strong>Jacqueline Robinson</strong> (seen above). <em>&ldquo;Jelani said I wouldn&rsquo;t see her again if I told on him,</em>&rdquo; he explained. <em>&ldquo;His face was kind of mad.&rdquo; </em></p>
<p>Prosecutors believe Jelani was having sex with the young girl, who is now 14, as much as four times a week.&nbsp; The young boy also said he remembers hearing his sister's bedroom door close at night, and creaking noises (as if from a bed) coming from her room.</p>
<p>Last week, a doctor took the stand and her medical records strongly suggested she was having sex. Investigators also found a pair of the girl&rsquo;s pajama pants with <a href="http://theybf.com/2016/07/29/update-nicki-minaj%E2%80%99s-brother%E2%80%99s-dna-reportedly-matches-semen-found-on-rape-victim%E2%80%99s"><strong>Jelani&rsquo;s DNA on it. </strong></a></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that [the girl&rsquo;s] medical exam can prove penetration,&rdquo; </em>said Dr. Aaron Miller after reviewing photos.</p>
<p><a href="http://theybf.com/2017/10/20/nicki-minaj-will-reportedly-be-a-star-witness-in-brother%E2%80%99s-rape-trial"><strong>Nicki Minaj was named as a star witness </strong></a>in the case a few days ago, but Nicki says it's not true...allegedly. It&rsquo;s reported the &ldquo;No Frauds&rdquo; raptress will be the crux of the defense as they&rsquo;re creating a narrative that Jehlani&rsquo;s estranged wife, Jacqueline Robinson, is after Nicki&rsquo;s money and concocted this whole rape story in hopes of receiving $25 million.</p>
<p>However, folks in the Young Money rapper's camp <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/24/nicki-minaj-not-testify-brother-child-rape-trial/">tell</a> TMZ she's not taking the stand.

<p>There are updates in the rape case against <strong>Nicki Minaj</strong>&rsquo;s brother <strong>Jelani Maraj</strong>. And it&rsquo;s being reported Nicki is the star witness in her brother&rsquo;s defense. More inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>The rape case against Nicki Minaj&rsquo;s brother, Jelani Maraj, just got its star witness. And it just so happens to be his famous sister, Nicki Minaj (above at the T, New York Times Style Magazine event in NYC rocking Dvani black and white diamond bracelet and diamond earrings, a Harry Kotlar yellow diamond ring and two platinum diamond rings, as well as a Hearts On Fire diamond ring and bracelet).</p>
<p>According to PageSix, the &ldquo;No Frauds&rdquo; raptress will be the crux of the defense. Why? Well, they&rsquo;re creating a narrative that Jehlani&rsquo;s estranged wife, Jacqueline Robinson, is after Nicki&rsquo;s money and concocted this whole rape story in hopes of receiving $25 million.</p>
<p>The site <a href="https://pagesix.com/2017/10/19/nicki-minaj-will-be-star-witness-in-brothers-child-rape-trial/">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In opening statements in Nassau County, the brother&rsquo;s lawyer said Thursday the whole case was an attempt to extort $25 million from the hugely successful &ldquo;Anaconda&rdquo; rapper.</p>
<p>The little girl&rsquo;s mother, Jacqueline Robinson, &ldquo;related to Nicki that, &lsquo;I can make the charges go away for $25 million,&rsquo;&rdquo; said David Schwartz, lawyer for Minaj&rsquo;s brother, Jelani Maraj.</p>
<p>Robinson and the brother had just married when Robinson&rsquo;s then-11-year-old daughter told officials in graphic detail that her new stepfather was raping her as often as four times a week, prosecutors say.</p>

<p>Assistant District Attorney Emma Slane told jurors in her opening statement that the girl&rsquo;s 8-year-old brother was the one who spilled the beans about the alleged sexual abuse. It&rsquo;s reported the boy said he was beaten by Jehlani after he walked in on him having sex with his sister.</p>
<p>It was previously reported cops found a pair of the little <a href="http://theybf.com/2016/07/29/update-nicki-minaj%E2%80%99s-brother%E2%80%99s-dna-reportedly-matches-semen-found-on-rape-victim%E2%80%99s"><strong>girl&rsquo;s pajama pants with Jehlani&rsquo;s DNA.</strong></a> Jehlani&rsquo;s lawyer is arguing that the girl&rsquo;s mom put the DNA on the pants herself to frame him.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;An evil Jackie targeted him,&rdquo; the lawyer said, pointing to Maraj, &ldquo;trying to get him to marry her, and then just four months after they were married, we have this.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You&rsquo;ll recall, the Young Money rapper posted <a href="http://theybf.com/2015/12/04/whoa-nicki-minajs-brother-jelani-miraj-charged-with-rape-of-a-12-year-old-he-had-access"><strong>Jehlani&rsquo;s $100,000 bond</strong></a> after he was arrested in December. It&rsquo;s unclear right now whether or not Nicki will take the stand in court. However, private investigator Les Levine said Nicki will be called on her brother&rsquo;s behalf, but didn't reveal which day.</p>

<p><strong>Blac Chyna</strong> is NOT stopping at that $20K a month she's going to be getting from baby's daddy <strong>Rob Kardashian</strong>.&nbsp; She's going for the Kardashian-Jenner's jugular with a new lawsuit.&nbsp; Deets inside...</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Blac Chyna spent the weekend celebrating with son<strong> King Cairo</strong> for his 5th birthday(above).&nbsp; And baby's dad <strong>Tyga</strong> joined in.&nbsp; We hear the nanny is who got them to come together for the sake of King and put their differences aside.&nbsp; And things went quite well.</p>
<p>But something else she just pulled out of her bag of tricks: Another lawsuit!</p>
<p>The Lashed queen unleashed a fiery new lawsuit naming not only Rob, but his mother <strong>Kris</strong> and sisters<strong> Kim, Kylie, Kendall </strong>and<strong> Khloe</strong>!&nbsp; She's suing everybody!</p>
<p>Chyna claims the whole family conspired to torpedo her career and reality show after ish came to a head between her and Rob.&nbsp; And she's not having it.</p>
<p>Radar Online unveiled <a href="http://radaronline.com/videos/blac-chyna-lawsuit-rob-kardashian-kris-jenner-kim-kardashian-sisters-assault-revenge-porn/">snippets</a> of the explosive suit, filed this morning in L.A. Superior Court, which calls out the family's abuse, stripper shaming and revenge porn:</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;Rob Kardashian is an abuser intent on destroying Angela White, the mother of his baby, who left him in 2016. In revenge, the Kardashian-Jenner family became media predators, slut-shaming her on social media and killing her hit television show, which had already begun filming a second season.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;After Ms. White obtained July 2017 court orders finding that Rob Kardashian&rsquo;s revenge porn rant was a form of domestic abuse, and knowing that Ms. White was intent on standing up for her rights, Rob Kardashian and Kylie Jenner hastily filed this lawsuit, which attempts to shame her for having worked in the past as a stripper, a legal profession peopled by actual human beings as deserving of respect as their famous sisters, who perform in sex tapes and pose naked.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now Kim and Kourtney KNOW they can't talk about <em>nobody </em>else's<em> </em>sex selling past.</p>
<p>The document also says the family used their power to take down Chyna:</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;The unwritten rule no one told Ms. White when she started a relationship with Rob Kardashian is: the entire family takes it personally if you leave and will come after you, using their fame, wealth and power to take you down,&rdquo; the documents continue.</p>
<p>&ldquo;They will get your television show canceled, they will go after you. They will spread lies about you, they will claim you are a bad mother without evidence. They will even fund a lawsuit about crumbled cookies to get revenge on you leaving a Kardashian.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Rob Kardashian and his powerful, vindictive family have done enough damage to Ms. White&rsquo;s career and professional reputation, which she singlehandedly built from scratch &mdash; without the help of a famous last name.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Chile.&nbsp; Looks like Kim and co. aren't the only ones who can play victim.</p>

<p>The Harvey Weinsten sexual misconduct scandal has caused <strong>Terry Crews </strong>to recount a time he was sexually assaulted by a high level Hollywood executive. Also, a the first black woman has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey.</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>This Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal gets messier by the day. And its even causing celebrities to speak out about separate incidents that have happened around Tinsel Town.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Brooklyn Nine-Nine&rdquo; actor Terry Crews felt compelled to share a story where he revealed he was groped by a male Hollywood executive during a party last year. Not only that, his WIFE was with him. Chile&hellip;the nerve!</p>
<p>The 49-year-old hopped on Twitter to reflect on the incident, saying he wanted to whoop his a** after the man groped him but, he decided to leave the party in fear of being dubbed the stereotypical angry black man. Y'all know how white media would have spun this story about a black man beating a white man down. Also, the Hollywood exec is a big wig in the industry and he didn't want to be &ldquo;ostracized&rdquo; from the business. The exec eventually called him up and apologized, but never confessed as to why he did it.</p>
<p>After sharing his story, he said he hoped his story &quot;will detet a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless.&quot;</p>
<p>Peep the tweets (read from the bottom up).</p>

<p>That's crazy!</p>
<p>Everyone, especially men who tend to be oblivious to what goes on in the minds of women, should hear Terry's sexual assault story on why victims wait. Maybe with this story coming from a man, they can empathize more.</p>
<p>Speaking of Harvey Weinstein....</p>
<p><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h164/ybfchic/October%202017%20Part%202/harveyaccuser.jpg" alt=" photo harveyaccuser.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p>Several women have come forward with accusations that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weistein allegedly sexually assaulted them. And one of them happens to be a black woman.</p>
<p>Former aspiring actress Lucia Evans gave The New Yorker details about how Weinstein raped her while she was a student at Middlebury college. <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories">Here's</a> an account of what happened:</p>
<blockquote><p>Three women&mdash;among them Argento and a former aspiring actress named Lucia Evans&mdash;told me that Weinstein raped them, allegations that include Weinstein forcibly performing or receiving oral sex and forcing vaginal sex. Four women said that they experienced unwanted touching that could be classified as an assault.</p>
<p>Lucia Stoller, now Lucia Evans, was approached by Weinstein at Cipriani Upstairs, a club in New York, in 2004, the summer before her senior year at Middlebury College. Evans wanted to be an actress, and although she had heard rumors about Weinstein she let him have her number. Weinstein began calling her late at night, or having an assistant call her, asking to meet. She declined, but said that she would do readings during the day for a casting executive. Before long, an assistant called to set up a daytime meeting at the Miramax office, in Tribeca, first with Weinstein and then with a casting executive, who was a woman. &ldquo;I was, like, &lsquo;Oh, a woman, great, I feel safe,&rsquo; &rdquo; Evans said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Lucia said she was led to an office with exercise equipment and takeout boxes on the floor where they were alone.</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;At that point, after that, is when he assaulted me,&rdquo; Evans said. &ldquo;He forced me to perform oral sex on him.&rdquo; As she objected, Weinstein took his penis out of his pants and pulled her head down onto it. &ldquo;I said, over and over, &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t want to do this, stop, don&rsquo;t,&rsquo; &rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I tried to get away, but maybe I didn&rsquo;t try hard enough. I didn&rsquo;t want to kick him or fight him.&rdquo; In the end, she said, &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a big guy. He overpowered me.&rdquo; At a certain point, she said, &ldquo;I just sort of gave up. That&rsquo;s the most horrible part of it, and that&rsquo;s why he&rsquo;s been able to do this for so long to so many women: people give up, and then they feel like it&rsquo;s their fault.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;It was like it was just another day for him,&rdquo; Evans said. &ldquo;It was no emotion.&rdquo; Afterward, she said, he acted as if nothing had happened. She wondered how Weinstein&rsquo;s staff could not know what was going on.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I ruined several really good relationships because of this. My schoolwork definitely suffered, and my roommates told me to go to a therapist because they thought I was going to kill myself.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In the years that followed, Evans encountered Weinstein occasionally. Once, while she was walking her dog in Greenwich Village, she saw him getting into a car. &ldquo;I very clearly saw him. I made eye contact,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I remember getting chills down my spine just looking at him. I was so horrified. I have nightmares about him to this day.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Wow. This is horrific. And disgusting. Ladies, if you&rsquo;re ever in this type of situation, PLEASE find help and let police and others know.&nbsp; It's imperative.</p>

Hours later, police picked up the rapper from his tour bus behind a Walmart and arrested him.</p>
<p>Photogs caught up with singer Akon, who has worked with Nelly in the past, to ask him his thoughts on the rape accusations. Akon stands behind Nelly 100%. Peep the clip below:</p>

<p>Hours before his arrest, he posted this on Instagram:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>TMZ also got their hands on <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/07/nelly-arrested-rape-washington/">video</a> he made before his arrest. Check it below:</p>

<p>Nelly should just stay off tour buses. In 2015, he was <a href="http://www.theybf.com/2015/04/12/busted-nelly-arrested-on-felony-drug-charges-meth-marijuana"><strong>arrested on felony drug charges</strong></a> when police pulled his tour bus over and allegedly found marijuana and MDMA. He lucked up in that situation where he didn't have to do any jail time since he had a clean criminal record.</p>
<p>By the way, Nelly's girlfriend <strong>Shantel Jackson</strong> is starring in E!'s upcoming show, &quot;The Platinum Life,&quot; set to premiere next week. The time of this &quot;story&quot; seems a bit suspect. Thoughts?</p>

<p>The 2017 drama is still at an all-time high. <strong>Blac Chyna </strong>is ready to go for round 2 in her war against her ex-fianc&eacute; <strong>Rob Kardashian</strong>. Meanwhile, <strong>Usher</strong>&rsquo;s accuser <strong>Laura Helm </strong>is popping back at him. Get it all inside&hellip;</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><p>Blac Chyna and her lawyer <strong>Lisa Bloom </strong>are ready to go to war! Again.</p>
<p>After locking in <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/09/16/blac-chyna-rob-kardashian-finally-reach-custody-agreement-masika-kalysha-responds-to-alex"><strong>$20K a month in child support</strong></a>, Chy is looking to settle the score with her ex-fianc&eacute; Rob Kardashian for his revenge porn antics. And she&rsquo;s singing to the tune of a seven-figure payout. She&rsquo;s reportedly gunning for a cool $10 million.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Well, she <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/09/16/blac-chyna-rob-kardashian-revenge-porn-negotiating-settlement/">claims</a> she lost several weight-loss endorsements after Rob spilled the beans that he paid $100K in post-pregnancy surgery. We all know Chy loves to push those weight loss teas and waist trainers on her Instagram account.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Chy and Rob (along with their legal teams) went to mediation, but it doesn&rsquo;t appear to have been a successful one. Chyna&rsquo;s lawyer Lisa Bloom hopped on Twitter, posting a picture of herself with Chyna and she captioned,<em> &ldquo;Do NOT disrespect my client. I got your back, @BlacChyna. Stay tuned for chapter 2, y&rsquo;all.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Sounds like fighting words.</p>
<p>An insider spilled some tea about what went down during the mediation session and revealed it was the first time Chyna and Rob had seen each other since before he <a href="http://www.theybf.com/2017/07/05/savage-rob-kardashian-had-time-%E2%80%93-blasts-blac-chynas-naked-pics-drug-use-post-baby-body"><strong>leaked her nudes online</strong></a> (in July).</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Rob and Chyna didn&rsquo;t speak to each other at all,&rdquo; </em>the insider told <a href="http://radaronline.com/videos/blac-chyna-rob-kardashian-revenge-porn-case-mediation-failed-lawyers-fight-kris-jenner-money/">RadarOnline.</a></p>
<p>But get this&hellip;</p>
<p>The reason they allegedly couldn&rsquo;t come to an agreement is because Rob&rsquo;s momager <strong>Kris Jenner </strong>had to sign off on the deal. Why? Well, she&rsquo;s in charge of ALL of her 30-year-old son&rsquo;s finances.</p>
<p>The site reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;A settlement was discussed but Rob had to call his mom Kris for approval for the deal, and she didn&rsquo;t respond,&rdquo; a source told us at the time.</p>
<p>The same day that news about Khloe Kardashian&rsquo;s pregnancy broke, the momager was unavailable to make her son&rsquo;s financial decisions. &ldquo;Kris had to approve when Chyna was given $20,000 a month by Rob for Dream,&rdquo; the source told Radar. &ldquo;She controls everything for him. Chyna isn&rsquo;t afraid to file a lawsuit against Rob. She wants him to pay for what he did to her.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We&rsquo;re NOT surprised by this.</p>
<p>In other news...</p>

<p>Laura Helm, <a href="http://theybf.com/2017/09/21/usher%E2%80%99s-20-million-herpes-accuser-comes-forward-since-he%E2%80%99s-reportedly-stalling-lawsuit"><strong>the woman suing Usher for $20 million after he allegedly gave her herpes</strong></a>, is speaking out after the R&amp;B crooner responded to her lawsuit.</p>
<p>Usher&rsquo;s team filed a response claiming the &quot;Let It Burn&quot; singer didn&rsquo;t intentionally give her herpes (claiming he may not had known he was infected at the time) and he also said if he did have sex with them, they &quot;assumed the risk.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Laura filed new documents to respond to Usher&rsquo;s claims saying it&rsquo;s absurd that he would even say something along those lines that she should have assumed he had an STD.</p>
<p>TMZ <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2017/09/27/usher-herpes-accuser-laura-helm-std-risk/">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Helm says that means she would have to have knowledge of the specific danger -- and there was no way for her to have that info because Usher kept his trap shut about it. Bottom line: consent to sex does not equal consent to risk of catching STDs.</p>
<p>She's essentially put the ball back in his court.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Usher is dead wrong for saying she should have assumed he would have an STD. </p>
<p>However, as a sexually active woman, you definitely should take precautions to try and prevent things like this from happening. We&rsquo;re <strong>NOT</strong> victim blaming the least bit. We&rsquo;re just saying as a grown woman, there are steps you should take to protect yourself when engaging in sexual activities. It's dangerous out here. </p>
<p>Also, an Instagram account using Usher&rsquo;s mother&rsquo;s name, <strong>Jonetta Patton</strong>, has responded to the herpes scandal. It&rsquo;s unclear if this is her official account, so take this with a grain of salt. However, we do know there <em>was</em> tension between Usher and his mother when he dropped her as his manager. However, he did end up re-hiring her.</p>
